The system of equation which represent the scenario is;

x + y = 42

x + y = 420.13x + 0.18y = 6.66

Simultaneous equation

let

  • number of 13 cent stamps = x
  • number of 18 cent stamps = y
  • Total cost of the stamps = $6.66
  • Total number of stamps = 42

x + y = 42

x + y = 420.13x + 0.18y = 6.66

Therefore, the equation which represent the problem is;

x + y = 42

0.13x + 0.18y = 6.66
